Last Call | Alabama Football Just Got a HUGE Recruiting Lifeline Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jake Coker break down the biggest changes happening across college sports — and what they could mean for Alabama Football, Kalen DeBoer, recruiting, NIL, and the future of college athletics.

The guys discuss the NCAA’s new “five-for-five” eligibility rule, why Jake Coker believes the old redshirt system was outdated, and how modern college athletes are entering programs more prepared than ever. They also react to NCAA reform allowing transitioning FCS programs immediate postseason eligibility, including possible bowl and College Football Playoff access.

The conversation then turns to the Protect College Sports Act, federal NIL legislation backed by Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, Nick Saban’s continued influence as one of the leading voices in college football, and how revenue sharing could help Alabama stay competitive against programs like Ohio State and Texas.

Plus, Mick and Jake dive into Alabama’s recruiting strategy under Kalen DeBoer, the balance between five-star high school talent and transfer portal experience, how coaching connections impact portal recruiting, and what Alabama must do to keep landing elite players.

Also on the show:MLB Draft changes that could impact college baseball, Alabama Baseball’s recent World Series run, Pearl River Resort, Patriot Roofing, mosquito swarms, cicadas at the ballpark, and recent guests including Richard Karn, Greg Valentine, and Reggie Smith.

The Connor O’Gara Show EP. 3 | Alabama QB Battle: Keelon Russell vs Austin Mack + Jim’s WILD Story Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

Jim Dunaway joins Episode 3 of The Connor O’Gara Show for a hilarious, heartfelt and football-filled conversation covering everything from Alabama football to never-before-told personal stories.

Dunaway shares the legendary honeymoon story from Negril, Jamaica, where a lost-luggage travel nightmare somehow turned into a completely unforgettable Alabama quarterback conversation on a nude beach. He also tells a classic Mike Shula story involving an accidental Auburn fight song hum during his first Alabama coaches’ show.

Connor and Jim also dive deep into the future of Alabama Football under Kalen DeBoer, including the quarterback battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, why Russell’s elite playmaking gives him a high ceiling, why Mack’s consistency makes him a serious contender, and whether Alabama’s roster is really built to peak in 2027.

Plus, Dunaway explains why Greg Byrne’s contract extension for Kalen DeBoer was a smart move, the guys discuss where Alabama could start in the preseason AP Poll, and both reflect on meaningful years in their lives, family, fandom and the emotional power of sports.

Topics include: Jim Dunaway’s honeymoon story, Alabama football QB battle, Keelon Russell vs. Austin Mack, Kalen DeBoer’s contract extension, Greg Byrne’s Alabama strategy, Mike Shula coaches show story, Alabama’s 2026 and 2027 expectations, Connor O’Gara’s 2016 Cubs reflection, Alabama fandom

The Next Reel | The Most Embarrassing Movie Blind Spots We’ve Never Admitted Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

Tyler Johns and Lance Taylor are back on The Next Reel for a movie-packed episode featuring weekend watch recaps, classic film talk and a confession-style main topic: famous movies they somehow still have not seen.

Before revealing their biggest movie blind spots, Tyler and Lance break down what they watched recently, including Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train, the brand new Toy Story 5, the legacy of Toy Story, the 1984 adventure drama The Bounty, reviewing The Death of Robin Hood, the classic western High Noon, an Apple TV thriller and more.

Then, the guys dive into a list of their most surprising movie blind spots — popular films, all-time classics, sports favorites, comedies, thrillers and pop-culture staples that everyone assumes they have seen, but somehow missed. Some picks are shocking because of how iconic they are. Others are embarrassing because they fit perfectly into each host’s taste. And a few will make you ask: “How have you never seen THAT?”

The guys also discuss how certain movies become part of pop culture even if people have never actually watched them, why some classics feel impossible to avoid, and whether knowing the quotes, scenes or reputation of a movie counts as truly knowing it.

What famous movie have YOU somehow never seen? Drop your biggest movie blind spot in the comments.
